The record lists Kálmán Ferenczfalvi as Hungarian humanitarian.

Kálmán Ferenczfalvi was born at Debrecen in 1921. His recorded nationality is Hungary.

By occupation Kálmán Ferenczfalvi was accountant, bookkeeper and military personnel - which is the point worth holding onto: the rescuers were not a special class of person.

The people honoured as Righteous Among the Nations were overwhelmingly ordinary; what distinguished them was that they acted while their neighbours did not.
